The Village Hamper in Wokingham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Had a lovely afternoon tea here. Great selection of delicious finger sandwiches, scones a brownie, piece of fudge and a big slice of cake. Too much to eat, but were able to take it home. Friendly staff and good service. Thought it was good value too. Looking forward to coming back, hopefully when the sun's out - thank you!

Visited on a sunny day, managed to sit inside but the outside was quite busy. They have a lovely little garden and some seats, be great in the summer. We stopped and had a cream tea and cake! It was so nice and lovely and homemade. Great little spot will be back…

Stopped off to have a quick bite. Very welcoming and efficiently- run cafe. The sandwich was delicious and loved the tea and the crockery.

What a gem! We loved the cafe - visited today with the whole family, and we were warmly welcomed. The breakfasts were really lovely - scrummy bacon rolls and lovely tea and coffee.

Felt like a family business. Went there for breakfast and tea. People are very friendly and polite. The place is cosy. Very special. The village worths visiting!

Arrived on Tuesday to find the Village Hamper closed, however the owner appeared and opened for us and we were able to buy supplies for our trip. The lady and Perrito were just lovely - visit here and you will find the warmest of welcomes and everything you need. Thank you for your your wonderful service.

Delicious takeaway afternoon tea. Nice friendly , helpful service. Afternoon tea was delicious.Highly recommend.

What a fantastic little business! This compact store/ deli sells absolutely everything as well as great coffee and scrumptious fresh homemade cakes and rolls. THE best!

Lovely cafe and deli with delicious food and friendly staff. Cosy inside cafe and pretty garden area also, both dog friendly with homemade dog treats a big hit! The homemade cakes for humans also delicious together with great choice of fresh savoury bites, thoroughly recommend the Brie, bacon and cranberry baguette. Great value too. Will definitely be back especially with lovely riverside walk and wild life reserve nearby.

The Hamper caters to all tastes. The sandwiches and soups are all homemade and just perfect. Cakes are also all homemade with a varied selection and good enough to justify a lengthy drive to indulge myself. On top of the tasty food, the staff are all very efficient and friendly. I am always made very welcome.

The Village Hamper is a gem.. the food is delicious and so is the ambiance. The cakes are irresistible and Sonning is blessed.

I've popped in several times over the past months for take outs and coffees. It really is a lovely find, friendly staff, great produce and cracking coffees and cakes. This is a real gem in Sonning and it's dog friendly too. See you again soon!

We wanted a light lunch and saw the Village Hamper. Located on the High Street and a short distance from Thames it was ideal. As bright sunny weather we sat in the garden and had a Tuna and Mayo Baguette also a Fine Ham and Mustard baguette. The latte coffes were very good with good taste and appearence. A portion of cake to finished just completed the whole event

We enjoyed a wonderful baguette and cake here. Such friendly staff and high quality food! A lovely place to stop when walking along the river.

Whilst taking a break from walking the River Thames, we found this great simple village shop and cafe in the high street in Sonning. We had tea served from a lovely pot with simply super old fashioned patterned china cups and the most delicious homemade chocolate cake. The Greek salad was fresh and delicious. In fact everything was super yummy. The prices are reasonable. We were made most welcome, home from home. And dogs would be welcome outside

This lovely tea room ticked all the boxes for our family outing. They couldn’t have been more welcoming when our family arrived for pastries in the morning and later sandwiches and tea. We were not an easy group to accommodate, being a party of 7 plus baby and dog. They even produced a birthday brownie for our son. A cosy, inviting place. Lovely people, delicious fresh food and attentive service. I recommend to anyone visiting Sonning.

Visited for lunch on a Saturday - it’s a pleasant stopping point after walking from Reading. We have visited a few times before in summer & in autumn & also on different days of the week, for snacks, drinks or lunch, so we feel we know what to expect. It’s a pretty and cosy village tea shop with also great deli counter & takeaway drinks & cakes. We have always enjoyed it, as it’s warm, snug, and the food is fresh & tasty, but the service, at least on a Saturday, seems to have gone downhill a bit. The waiting staff were all pretty young (maybe students working part time) & perhaps lack coordination, speed or interest in the job. Although there were only 3 tables occupied we waited 15 minutes to place our order, and then another 10 minutes or so to be served with our food and drinks. We ordered 2 coffees & 2 bowls of tomato soup: they were all hot & tasty & the soup came with generous portions of seeded bread & butter which was appreciated. The food, environment & location are excellent but somehow/sometimes the slow inattentive service lets them down. We will keep coming back & will keep our fingers crossed for better service.

We often go here for afternoon coffee with scone or cake . It is always perfect . Cakes and scones are amazing . Today we went for breakfast ( as other nearby restaurant wouldn’t serve us outside ) although no breakfast menu we had a bacon baguette . It was very nice . Staff are friendly and professional . Even a free doggy treat for our puppy !! Great value . We even bought a cake to take away !!

Came across this beautiful village shop, coffee shop, lunch stop on a walk of the charming back streets of this lovely Thames-side village. Great staff, lovely dining room, great food/coffee. Do go

Arrived at Sonning on Thames on a busy Sunday with nothing booked for lunch...and found THE VILLAGE HAMPER and weren't we lucky. Lovely sandwiches and drinks in a beautiful courtyard. Staff very friendly and we throughly enjoyed bring there

We just wanted a light lunch. Our sandwiches were freshly made and served on a delicious, crispy brown baguette and accompanied by 2 pots of tea. Perfect. Staff were friendly and helpful and the location was pretty. We would highly recommend.

This was a treasure to find, thoughtfully and carefully upgraded to a shop and cafe, the only one in the village. The shop sells items ranging from wine, to artisan bread and everything in between. Delicious snacks, served in a cosy old room, tastefully decorated....

Delightful small general store cafe. Very welcoming and efficient staff. Excellent coffee. We didn’t have a cake, but they looked nice. They have a small but wide selection of staple foods for sale.

Surprised that this delightful business wasn’t already listed here. Recommended to us. Has had a FB entry since it was launched last September predominantly as a coffee shop but with a kind of deli - not least cheeses etc and quickly advanced to pizza evenings....
